Actually, this is rather a weird one...

Decided to experiment with JQuery Mobile framework to explore a movie database rest api.


This was a quick implementation for the UX though just for what I needed. I guess because I initially started with JQ with my mobile app development it has been a comfort zone, besides its very well documented and easy peasy..

Tried to simplyfy things for myself as much as I can.

'Static code module
Sub Process_Globals
    Public BANano As BANano
    Public App As JQMApp
    Public Page As JQMPage
    Public ID As String = "index"

    Public Mode As String = "search/movie?query="
    Public MovieName As String

    Dim ml As JQMListView
End Sub
'create the page

    App = thisApp
    'create the page
    Page.Initialize(ID)
    Page.Title = "Movie List"

    Page.Header.AddRightButton("mi","Movie Info", "#" & headline.ID,App.EnumIcons.camera,App.EnumIconPos.notext,App.EnumTransition.slide,False,"")

This update does what this is meant to do, show the details of the selected movie on another page.


So basically we are able to change pages with animation, dynamically update the listview contents with records from the rest api. The output ptoject is attached.

When a movie is selected from the listview...

B4X:
'click on every movie
Sub movie_click(event As BANanoEvent)
    'dont bubble events
    event.StopPropagation
    Dim mprefix As String = App.MvField(event.ID, 1, "-")
    Select Case mprefix
    Case "movie"
        'save the selected movie details
        modMovies.movieSel = event.id
        'change to the movie infor page
        App.ChangePage(headline.ID,App.EnumTransition.slide)
    End Select
End Sub

'*** css code to apply to the complete page

#if CSS
.ui-content {
    padding: 0 !important;
}
  
.ui-listview {
    margin: 0 !important;
}
  
.example-wrapper, .example-wrapper div.iscroll-scroller {
    width: 100% !important;
}
 
li img {
    height: 150px;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 20px;
}
#End If

Code to show each movie details, these are stored in a map for later retrieval.

B4X:
'Static code module
Sub Process_Globals
    Public BANano As BANano
    Public App As JQMApp
    Public Page As JQMPage
    Public ID As String = "headline"
    Private ml As JQMListView
End Sub

'create the page
Public Sub Create(thisApp As JQMApp)
    App = thisApp
    'create the page
    Page.Initialize(App,ID)
    Page.Title = "Movie Info"
    Page.Header.Fixed = True
    Page.Header.AddLeftButton("bhome","Left", "#" & home.id,App.EnumIcons.home,App.EnumIconPos.notext,App.EnumTransition.slide,True,"")
    'add a heading
    Page.Header.AddH1("", Page.title)
    
    'list movies
    ml.Initialize(App,"movie-data")
    ml.Theme = App.EnumThemes.a
    Page.Content.AddListView(ml)
    'add a footer
    Page.Footer.Visible = False
    'append page to body
    Dim pgCode As String = Page.ToString
    App.Append("body", pgCode)
End Sub

#if Javascript

  _banano_moviedb_headline.loadselectedmovie();
});
#End If

    'get the movie record

    Dim sadult As String = movie.Get("adult")
